Opportunity Finance Network
Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) is the leading network of community development financial institutions (CDFIs) with a proven expertise in lending prudently and productively in unconventional markets often overlooked by conventional financial institutions. Working in rural, urban, and Native markets across the United States, we deliver sound financial returns and real changes for people and communities.
Overview
CDFIs (community development financial institutions) work for financial, social, and political justice. Since 1973, these mission-driven financial institutions have served communities and individuals that mainstream finance sees as too risky or not credit worthy enough for financing. As community lenders, they work closely with the people and businesses in these disinvested areas and know that they want nothing more than the opportunity to succeed. The opportunity finance industry offers that chance.
